Manoa Poke – Somerville, MA 🍱🌺 📍 300 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02143

If you’re craving authentic Hawaiian poke, Manoa Poke is where it’s at! 🌊🐟 We tried their Mix Plate which comes with fluffy white rice 🍚, creamy mac salad 🥗, crunchy kimchi cucumbers 🥒🔥, and your choice of two proteins—we went with spicy tuna and salmon. Both were solid, but the real winner? 👑

✨SALMON BELLY✨ Coated in the most addicting teriyaki sauce 🍯, it was sweet, savory, and absolutely melt-in-your-mouth. I don’t even like salmon usually, but this blew me away. 10/10 would order again (and again 😍).

We also tried the Kalua Pig 🐖—tender pulled pork shoulder slow-cooked to perfection, served with their housemade yaki sauce. It’s juicy, flavorful, and a must-try for anyone who’s not big on seafood.

🍰 Dessert time! We finished with their Mango Cake—a spongey, tropical dream. The real MVP? That fluffy, flavorful frosting. 🌴 Can’t wait to come back and try the pineapple version! 🍍💛

⏰ Heads up: This place gets busy even right at opening (3PM!) and some things sell out fast, so get there early! 🕒🚶‍♀️

Food: 9/10 Ambiance: Grab-and-go vibes, not really a dine-in hangout. Affordability: 5/10 – Definitely a treat yo’self kinda meal 💸 but you’re paying for quality and real island flavor 🌈✨
